This is a nice course-- good condition, organized staff, good practice area. One irritation of the layout is the par 5's. As I recall each of the par 5s is designed with an abrupt 90 degree turn in the last 100 yards of the hole-- the quick turn is blocked by woods/ high tree or trees. This design feature seems like a lame trick to protect the hole. I believe long hitters should have an opportunity to make the green in two or a "standard" player has a fair chance to put the ball on in regulation.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
